9. Ninth grade at Notre Dame High School in Chattanooga ...

Our Algebra teacher got called out into the hall in the middle of class. When she returned, she was so shaken and crying so hard that she could not continue the class.

As I remember, the principal closed the school after that period. Many of us walked down the block to the cathedral to pray. Even though the news was less than two hours old, the church was packed -- standing room only.

Like lots of others, I was also up watching Sunday morning TV when Ruby killed Oswald. Quite a horrific sight for a 14 year old.

Our country (and the world) has never been the same since.
